I would've done it all for you
But instead I couldn't stay
You took to much, got too high
You pushed me far away

I wanted to do life with you
You made me feel at home
With you I was never alone

Bars, pills, coke, drinking and driving
You never could do anything just once
Had to keep on trying

Not proud to say at one point I didn't really mind
Until I woke up and saw I could be next in line

I did my best, "babe please stop I want the best for you."
I thought it helped until I realized you just kept on lying

I know I'm not a saint
But I am able to say no
Gotta admit you're the reason I've grown

I just wish we could've grown together
But like a rose not every flower blooms at the same time

You were the blue in my sky and the light in my eyes
That's something you should know
I hope you take good care of yourself
Maybe one day we'll find our way back home
